EmpowerED Consulting Group
Building capacity. Powering Sustainability
We strive to help educational and non-profit institutions build leadership capacity and cultivate sustainable systems-based practices to improve organizational performance and meet the needs of students and communities.
Our Expertise
At EmpowerED, we understand the complex challenges schools and districts face today. Our consultant team comprises former school, district, and state education leaders with varying degrees of education policy and practitioner research expertise who fully understand the constraints and challenges of school and district environments.
With an intentional focus on policy and practice, we equip educators with the knowledge and skills to serve, support, and educate all students, especially students from vulnerable and systematically neglected populations. We offer a continuum of comprehensive district and school improvement services grounded in evidence-based practices to build the capacity of educators and educational organizations.
Our Pillars of Support for Programmatic Sustainability
Our support pillars are a framework for applying a solutions-oriented approach to ensure leaders are empowered to move the needle of improvement through capacity building and accountability supports, program evaluation, and continuous improvement review. Our three interconnected pillars are designed to work together to achieve overall sustainability.
Capacity Building
Capacity Building
Professional learning and capacity building are critical foundations for leaders to understand better how to develop and refine policies and practices for improvement. Gaining a deeper understanding of program compliance requirements can also assist education leaders in leveraging new and existing resources to achieve organizational goals.
Continuous Improvement Review
Continuous Improvement Review
Comprehensive reform requires an objective understanding of organizational strengths and opportunities for improvement. Related services, such as programmatic compliance review, implementation of school and district improvement plans, resource allocation review, equity audits, and specialty program reviews, are necessary to ensure the viability of sustainable practices.
Program Evaluation
Program Evaluation
Program Evaluation involves a fair and accurate analysis of school and district programs and operations. It helps to demonstrate program effectiveness, improve program implementation and effectiveness, better manage limited resources, document program accomplishments for potential replication, justify current program funding, and identify equitable outcomes for participants.

We worked with EmpowerED Consulting Group in preparation for a federal monitoring visit. The compliance and documentation review services and technical assistance provided were top-notch. Thanks to the expertise of the EmpowerED consultants, we did not receive any findings.

EmpowerED is amazing! Dr. Thompson and her team helped my non-profit to secure enough grant funding to open the door for 20 more students. We are able to provide programming for students without totally relying on volunteer support. The EmpowerED team also provides essential grant management support to ensure we remain in compliance.
